150Mbps Automotive Fiber Optic Receivers
General Description
The MAX3901/MAX3902 are optimized for low-cost
polymer-clad silica (PCS) and plastic optical fiber (POF)
automotive receivers. These parts operate over an
extended -40°C to +140°C (junction) temperature range.
The MAX3901 features a 1.2µA to 1mA input range, a
+3.3V or +5V supply voltage, operation from 8Mbps to
50Mbps, and a TTL output compatible with common
automotive optical network interfaces.
The MAX3902 features a 1.2µA to 1mA input range,
+3.3V supply voltage, operation from 40Mbps to
150Mbps, and a differential output compatible with
LVDS, PECL, and IEEE 1394b (S100β).
Both circuits provide an input power detect and low-
power standby mode with status output. No filter
capacitors are required in the optical subassembly,
thus enabling a low-cost receiver design. The circuits
are available in die and wafer form.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
